On many occasions, an informal buffet and casual seating offer a little more intimacy than a loud gathering around a big table.
From Yotam Ottolenghi
The differences between a tart, a pie and a quiche are a blur.
The difference between a bland tomato and great one is immense, much like the difference between a standard, sliced white bread and a crusty, aromatic sourdough.
If I must choose between healthy and tasty, I go for the second: having only one life to waste, it might as well be a pleasurable one.
Pasta with melted cheese is the one thing I could eat over and over again.
Some days, just occasionally, when I've had just one too many chickpeas, drizzles of olive oil or chunks of feta, I crave a return to the sushi-filled joints of Tokyo.
Herbs deserve to be used much more liberally.
I always pan-fry sprouts - it retains texture and enhances flavour.
As is always the way with pancakes, the first hotcake to come out of the pan will probably be a bit misshapen. Just scoff it, and carry on with the rest.
Brussels sprouts are really quite versatile.
